School headmaster threatens to expel 8-year-old over drawings

Yet another student has landed in trouble for having something that represents a weapon, but isn’t actually anything remotely like a real weapon.

This time, an Arizona couple pulled their eight-year-old son out of a charter school last week after school officials threatened to expel the boy for his colorful drawings of a ninja, a soldier and a character from Star Wars. All three figures are clutching guns and knives.
